"A bright garnet/violet in the glass. The nose is expressive and layered—red and black berry compote meets fragrant violets, sagebrush, and a touch of graphite. Notes of black cherry and raspberry glide alongside hints of olive tapenade and a hint of cedar. The palate delivers a burst of ripe dark fruit—blackberry, cassis, and morello cherry—supported by a plush core and an echo of brambleberry pie. Subtle oak sweetness shows through in vanilla and smoke, adding polish without distraction. Tannins are chalky and assertive, creating a firm, mouth-coating structure that speaks to both ripeness and varietal character." - Howard Park, Winemaker
